Attic Renovation by 2C Design Studio

Architect Noel Clarke had a neglected attic space in his Somerville, Mas­sachusetts home. He set out to renovate the space in his old Victorian house and now it's a modern, light-filled work space...

Some small space solutions he put to work: a wall of storage is tucked into the open framing of the attic, bare bulbs in simple porcelain sockets keep things from getting fussy, and the stained wood floors are painted with a glossy white paint.
